Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the clinical characteristic and surgical treatment of nasal sinus osteoma. METHOD: Fifty-one cases with nasal sinus osteoma were diagnosed by nasal sinus X ray or CT scan. All of these osteoma patients were cured by surgical resection. Supraorbital Lynch approach were applied in forty-two cases, lateral rhinotomy Moure approach in 4 cases, Caldwell-Luc approach in 3 cases and Dandy approach that combined with cranium and facial route in 2 cases. RESULT: Operative incisions in all cases healed in 1 period, no complications such as brain spinal fistula occurred. All cases were followed up for 6 months to 5 years, there were no recurrence of osteomas and occurrence of mucus cysts. CONCLUSION: Osteomas in nasal sinus grow slowly. X ray or CT scan is helpful to confirm the diagnosis and choose the surgical approach reasonably.
